I am relatively new to playing with Robots. Can someone advice me on the following:
- why does GIB not lead my suit in NT?
- why does GIB often not take an A when it will beat the contract?
- how does GIB signal?
- why does GIB not lead 4th best against NT, preferring to lead opponents suit?
- why does GIB lead Q from AQ?
- why are most finesses wrong for me but right for GIB?
- why do I frequently get 5-0 trump splits but GIB never does?
- how does GIB always drop my single K - does it peek?
I have many more like this!!
Thanks for any comments, aemtage

GIB's declarer and defensive play is almost entirely based on simulating deals and doing double-dummy analyses of them. If you rent the basic robots, they may not simulate enough hands, and you're likely to see strange plays.

I doubt if he is talking about renting, those things happen to me in Robot tournies to me, FREQUENTLY.
